I'm down to donate a whole notebook of trey and jerry solos i transcribed, but I'm not about to tab that shit out. I transcribed it in notes, just like every other instrument. Plus, the fingereing you like may be different than someone else likes, so notes would be more efficient and easier.
The thing about these guys, though, is even though it is improvised, you still see tons of similar licks amongst players. After a while, you know whats coming next...so i don't think its completely necessary to transcribe a whole bunch of solos of the same song from diffferent shows.
Great idea...no fucking tab...help make better guitar players across the nation.
Shocker out!

anyway, since i can read whatever you have done in standard notation, it would be cool to see it.
maybe you could post it in the open source section like another user has suggested.

I agree it is important to learn music theory, etc...but the burden is on the player to learn those things. Simply learning how to read the notes (presented in standard notation) in relation to the fretboard is not really much different than reading tab without the knowledge to back it up.
I realize timing is not notated in tabs (typically), but a beginner listening to a piece of work and relating standard notations to the fretboard isn't going to concern themself with reading the rhythm structure anyway....it is about feel.
How many concert guitarists can sight read music as it applies to the guitar? VERY, VERY few....so why do you have such an aversion to it?
Some of the best guitar players to ever live couldn't even read standard notation. This is a fact.
Proper tab which indicates the Chord chard above, it seems to me to be a great learning tool to use in conjunction with learing music theory. As it very quickly shows the reader the particular chord formation used or the fingering used. Since unlike other instruments the tonal variation between the sames notes on the instrument can be quite different on the guitar.

i used to read standard notation when i played piano in my younger days (would take me awhile to relearn that now that i am brain addled- lol)
now that i play acousitc guitar, i use tabs exclusively - if that is a bad thing in some people's opinion - so be it. it works for me. doesn't make me any less or more of a player. and i believe you can get the feel of timing and rhythym with tabs if they are written out right. there is no "one way" of writing out tabs. my guitar teacher is great noting the timing and rhythms of a tune while providing it to me in tabluture format. just my two cents

take someone like Derek Trucks. He plays exclusively in open E. If a person spends their whole career playing in standard tuning and you give them a guitar that's tuned to open E and a piece of music in standard music notation, that would really blow me away if the could make the switch and sight read it on the spot. I've never met anyone who could do that. But with tabs it's totally easy.

And when I write them down, so I can remember how to play them in the future..I always use guitar tab, as it is MUCH less mind numbing to do so.
Also...thanks for the link to the DTB tabs...can't wait to check those out with my guitar in my hands!!!
